In October 2019, 23 days were worked. Its standard operating time is 7 hours a day, with a 30-minute lunch break. In addition, in the mornings the machines must be allowed to warm up for 20 minutes. The machines are operated in this manner from Monday to Friday. When they reach the production of 250 mice, they take a "break" to review the production so far. This waiting time (kanban) takes them 4 hours. Determine the total number of parts produced during the month of October 2019.
